SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

The files in Part 14 of Papers of the NAACP cover the development of NAACPforeign policy from 1940 through 1955. The earliest records focus on World War IIand reveal that NAACP leaders worked actively on the international front duringthat period. A chief objective of the NAACP during wartime was to expand theAllied objectives beyond the simple defeat of the Axis powers. The NAACPsought to have the war effort cast as a struggle for democratic principles. Ithoped that this broader war objective would translate into an Allied postwarpolitical commitment to the respect of democratic principles in America andthroughout the European colonial empire, particularly in Africa.

With the serious effort to establish a United Nations organization in 1945, theNAACP moved aggressively to bring the denial of democratic rights to theforefront of that body's concerns. It petitioned the UN repeatedly from 1945 intothe 1950s on behalf of victims of American racism and European colonialism.The records contained in this collection document the association's foreign policyinitiatives in pursuit of these objectives. During World War II, NAACP foreignpolicy was largely a matter of personal initiative on the part of Walter White andW. E. B. Du Bois. Both traveled extensively--White to Europe and Asia, Du Boisto Africa. Both developed ties between the NAACP and key figures in postwarforeign relations. White parlayed such personal acquaintances as Indian PrimeMinister Jawaharlal Nehru, Supreme Allied Commander Dwight Eisenhower, andBritish Foreign Minister Lord Halifax into key contacts in his crusade to bringinternational pressure against American racism and European colonialism.Du Bois helped organize the first Pan African Congress and developed close tieswith several African liberation movement leaders. By the late 1940s, the twopillars of NAACP foreign affairs, Du Bois and White, split bitterly over whether theNAACP should support foreign policy initiatives of the Truman administration.Du Bois resigned from the NAACP, and Howard University Professor RayfordLogan was hired as a special consultant to the association on matters pertainingto foreign affairs. Despite the personal fall out between White and Du Bois, theassociation's efforts continued along much the same track as they had from theearly 1940s: to appeal to international tribunals, such as the United Nations, tobemoan the state of race relations in America, and to support colonial liberationmovements and protest colonial ambitions abroad in the name of democracy.

This microfilm edition comprises a selection of files from Group II of the NAACPcollection at the Library of Congress. Group II of the collection covers the periodbetween 1940 and 1955, and the files documenting NAACP initiatives on foreign

affairs are scattered over a large alphabetically arranged series called Series A,General Office File. The entire General Office File was surveyed by professorsAugust Meier and John H. Bracey, and every file pertinent to the association'srole in foreign affairs was selected for the present edition. The arrangement onthe microfilm follows the alphabetical arrangement of the General Office File.Foreign affairs materials for the period prior to 1940 do not constitute a sufficientbody of records to make up a separate edition. Files regarding foreign affairsbefore 1940 were filmed with Part 11 of Papers of the NAACP, Special SubjectFiles, 1912-1939. Researchers will find some material of related interest in Part9 of Papers of the NAACP: Discrimination in the U.S. Armed Forces, particularlyfor the World War II period.

Following is a brief summary of the main alphabetical file groupings in thisedition:

Africa. The Africa files contain a wide range of wartime and postwar materials.The Felix Eboue file documents the career of the native colonial governor ofFrench Equatorial Africa who stood with the anti-Nazi resistance against theVichy regime's capitulation to Hitler. Several of the files document colonialliberation movements, notably those for Ethiopia, Kenya, and Togoland. Otherfiles concern cultural and educational exchanges between the United States andAfrica. The Liberian files concern factions in Liberian internal politics and effortsby some Liberian leaders to draw the NAACP into Liberian politics. Extensivefiles on South Africa detail the NAACP's opposition to the development ofapartheid policies in that country and its early promotion of nonviolent protesttactics against apartheid. Files on the Reverend Michael Scott detail his crusadeon behalf of the tribes of South-West Africa in opposition to South Africanannexation plans. Files on the American Committee on Africa detail some of theearly initiatives of the pioneer American antiapartheid organization. Several of thefiles touch on the NAACP's determination to find anti-Communist factions in theliberation movements in Africa.

American Council on African Education. This organization served as a conduit

f o r African students studying i n t h e United States. T h e files detail severe a d m i n i s t r a t i v e problems i n t h e program.

Bandung Conference. This file covers the important conference in 1955 in

Bandung, Indonesia, among Asian a n d African peoples reaffirming their d e t e r m i n a t i o n t o divest themselves o f colonial rule.

Foreign Affairs. This series contains a wide range of material on such mattersas colonial liberation movements in Asia, the development of the Organization ofAmerican States (Bogota Conference file), China, the Greek Civil War, Palestine,and the Good Neighbor Policy in Latin America.

Haiti, While this series includes a fair amount of material on Haitian dignitaries'visits to the United States, the heart of the group concerns NAACP SecretaryWalter White's increasing affection for and involvement with Haitian affairs. Whitebecame an avid student of Haitian culture and literature, which he worked

tirelessly to promote in America. He also endeavored to attract American investorsto Haitian tourist development and worked with Poppy Cannon (whom he latermarried) to develop a public relations campaign for Haitian tourism in the UnitedStates. These files also contain a significant amount of information regardinginternal Haitian political developments.

India. The India files also are heavily marked with the personal efforts of Walter

White t o develop a n alliance with notable Indian leaders f o r t h e cause o f d e m o c r a t i c principles. White visited India i n 1945 a n d remained o n close personal

terms with Jawaharlal Nehru and his sister, Madame Vijaya Pandit. The filesdocument India's colonial liberation movement and cover several of its post-liberation problems, including famine, religious animosity in the Kashmirprovince, and concern with Communist influence.

Italian Colonies. These files concern the fate of the Italian colonies in Africa duringand after World War II. These colonies--Somalia, Eritrea, and Libya--were hotlycontested by Italians in the postwar period and for a time were considered areward for the Italian decision to enter the North Atlantic Treaty Organization(NATO) alliance. The NAACP petitioned the United Nations repeatedly for theirright to self-determination.

Leagues. This designation is the umbrella category for NAACP files on otherorganizations between 1940 and 1955. From among the organizations with filesin this large series, a few files pertaining to foreign affairs were selected for thisedition. The American Committee for Africa (ACOA) pioneered antiapartheidadvocacy in the United States in the early 1950s. The ACOA soon widened itsactivities to include support for all colonial liberation movements throughout theAfrican continent. The Council on African Affairs, founded by Paul Robeson, wasfar to the left of the NAACP on the political spectrum. At the time of his split fromthe NAACP over Truman administration policies, W. E. B. Du Bois wascooperating with the organization. The India League of America was one of themajor voices on behalf of Indian affairs in the United States.

Staff File: Walter White. A few of the files selected from the large Walter WhiteStaff File document aspects of his work on foreign affairs. The Good NeighborPolicy documents his relationship with Nelson Rockefeller and his insistence thatAmerican racist attitudes were a huge liability in dealings with Latin Americancountries during World War II. His "Message to the People of Japan and India" isan unpublished draft of a plea to the people of those nations not to ally with theAxis during World War II. His Pacific tour of 1945 is covered in the final file of theseries. White visited with African-American soldiers stationed in the Pacifictheater and tried to assess the mood for colonial liberation in Asia.

State Department. The State Department files include a wide array of materialabout the NAACP's interest in a solution to the Palestinian conflict. WalterWhite's denunciation of the imperialist implications of Winston Churchill's "ironcurtain" speech and his defense of Secretary of State Dean Acheson (a personalfriend he assiduously cultivated) against red-baiting charges during the Army-

McCarthy hearings may be found in this series. NAACP reservations about thedrift of American foreign policy during the cold war are scattered throughout theState Department files and include opposition to the Truman Doctrine and thePoint-IV Program.

United Nations. The United Nations (UN) series is one of the most extensiveand revealing in the present edition. Several files cover the efforts of the NAACPto petition the United Nations on behalf of African-Americans who were denieddemocratic and human rights within the United States. The roles of Walter White

a n d W . E . B . D u Bois a s observers a t early United Nations meetings a r e d o c u m e n t e d , a s i s t h e growing rift between t h e t w o NAACP leaders. There a r e

numerous policy analyses by NAACP Foreign Affairs Consultant RayfordLogan during the late 1940s. An important domestic incident--the publicationof a tract authored by the Communist-front Civil Rights Congress charging theAmerican government with "genocide" under the war crimes conventions of theUN--also is documented.

Virgin Islands. These files document the continuing interest, principally ofWalter White, in the economic development and racial situation in the VirginIslands. Many of the files document internal politics of the civil administration ofthe Virgin Islands. They also show the support the NAACP gave to Virgin Islandsinterests pending before Congress, such as reduced taxes on Virgin Islandsproducts and the integrity of the Virgin Islands judiciary.
